Louis XVI, very likely mid to late 19th century. Sadly, some fool has painted it over. It is impossible to know the value without:

  1. Determining if this hideous paint job is reversible. If it isn't, the value will be deeply deminished. If it is;
  2. Removing the paint and inspecting the state of the original finish, if it remains. If the idiot who painted this piece stripped it before painting, or the finish is still there but in terrible condition, all hope is lost. If it is in good or better condition, then:

Congratulations, each piece is likely to be worth $2,000 or more.

The only way to know, however, will be to employ the services of a professional furniture conservator. No, not a 'restorer', a conservator. Ask the biggest museum in your area for reccomendations, and be prepared to pay a lot of money.
